The elegance of the present translation - the first full translation into English - is beautifully complemented by the illustrations specially created for the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selma Lagerlöf won the Nobel Prize "in appreciation of the lofty idealism, vivid imagination, and spiritual perception that characterize her writings". During her acceptance speech, she remained humble and told a fantastic story of her father, as she visited him in heaven. In the story, she asks her father for help with the debt she owes and her father explains the debt is from all the people who supported her throughout her career. In 1904, the Academy had awarded her its great gold medal, and in 1914, she also became a member of the academy. For both the academy membership and her Nobel literature prize, she was the first woman to be so honored. In 1991, she became the first woman to be depicted on a Swedish banknote, when the first 20-kronor note was released. This selection chosen by the critic August Nemo contains the following stories: - The Holy Night - The Emperor's Vision - The Wise Men's Well - Bethlehem's Children - The Flight Into Egypt - In Nazareth - In The Temple
